How to receive support for Cloudflare Registrar?

What is Cloudflare’s expired domains policy?

Your domain registration will be canceled if it's not renewed before the registration period.

Cloudflare domain registration is set to automatically renew by default.

Expired registrations have a Redemption Grace Period (RGP) of 30 days. During this time, Cloudflare will block attempted transfers of your expired domain. Cloudflare does not charge additional fees for domains recovered during the RGP.

Will Cloudflare provide Whois Privacy?

How does Cloudflare approach registry promotions?

If a registry provides a promotional price for a TLD, Cloudflare will provide customers that price.

Will I lose registration time already purchased when transferring to Cloudflare?

ICANN requires a domain transfer to extend the expiration date by at least one year. For example, a domain that expires March 10, 2019 but transferred on October 10, 2018 would have a new expiration of March 10, 2020.

If a domain expires at the current registrar and is renewed within 45 days before transferring to Cloudflare, the registry can restrict the addition of an extra year.

How fast does a domain transfer to Cloudflare?
